Also, I only found out recently that this was a cover. I looked up the original, and it's okay, but no better than that. Which was really disappointing, because I fucking love The Field Mice, and hoped the dude's other band would impress me just as much, but I really think the Mountain Goats version is better.

Shiner's cover of "Feel Like Makin' Love" is awesome. When you listen to it, it doesn't seem like it bears any relation to the original, but the original actually has some bizarre guitar and bass work in it. -

I can think of several. Off the top of my head and in no particular order:"Macarthur Park" (The Negro Problem)"Come as You Are" (Caetano Veloso)"Friend of the Devil" (Lyle Lovett)"Everybody's Happy Nowadays" (Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine)"Oops I Did It Again" (Richard Thompson)"Supernaut" (Black Box version, 1,000 Homo DJs w/Trent Reznor)"Tiempo Sin Respuesta" (Pedro Aznar, cover of Nick Drake's "Time of No Reply")

And I'll second (or third, or whatever) the Johnny Cash version of "Hurt."
